BCG’s Trials Review Day touches on input costs, tighter margins and greater volatility
Held on Friday 20 February at the Birchip Leisure Centre, the event will invite growers to step back from the season just gone and view their farming systems through a broader lens, combining agronomy, economics and markets to support more confident decisions for 2026.
THESE themes are shaping this year’s BCG Trials Review Day, with the long running members only event deliberately repositioned to focus less on trial results in isolation and more on how those results stack up when tested against risk, profitability and long-term business strength.
Held on Friday 20 February at the Birchip Leisure Centre, the event will invite growers to step back from the season just gone and view their farming systems through a broader lens, combining agronomy, economics and markets to support more confident decisions for 2026.
BCG Trials Review Day coordinator Louisa Ferrier said the 2025 program reflects a deliberate shift.
“Farming systems today are carrying more cost, more complexity and more risk than they did a decade ago,” Ms Ferrier said.
“That means growers need to be confident not just in what they do, but why they are doing it.”
Full program details are available to BCG members via the BCG website.
Growers can become a member at bcg.org.au.
